Cajunville Deconstructed Deviled Eggs

Cajun French: l’oeuf bouilli (l’uf boo-ee) – boiled egg

Deviled eggs are found on southern tables for most events from funerals to tailgating and everything in between. Most southern brides receive a “Deviled Egg Platter” as a gift, sometimes more than one. Cajunville is taking deviled eggs to the next level by deconstructing them and piping the mixture into pastry cups. With Carnival Season upon us, this dish makes a great first course, party tray or parade watching food.

Mais C’est Bon!

Enjoy!!

Cajunville Milk Punch

Cajun French: la boisson (la boo-a-son) – liquor


Milk punch is as popular in New Orleans as the sazerac and Ramos Gin Fizz. South Louisiana has kept Milk Punch alive, but its American roots lie in the colonial East Coast. Milk punch is believed to have been created in the 1600s, reaching its popularity peak from 1700s to mid 1800s. The 17th century English writer, Aphra Behn, mentioned milk punch in one of her plays and she is credited with the creation. In 1862, Jerry Thomas included the punch in his “How to Mix Drinks”.

The recipe has changed and evolved over the years. Today Milk Punch is made from a variety of liquors. Cajunville Milk Punch is made using cane syrup for a Cajun flair. It can be enjoyed from morning to late evening. In New Orleans, the milk punch is traditionally made with bourbon and milk. We chose to change it up by using Amaretto, Brandy, milk, cream and cane syrup.

Cajunville Spinach Madeleine

Cajun French: le “spinach” (lu “spinach”) – spinach

Spinach Madeleine in its original form was a staple on most south Louisiana tables. John’s mother cooked it every Sunday for our family meal. Once Kraft discontinued their log cheese, cooks searched for a replacement. While using many of the same ingredients, we have altered the recipe for our taste.
